Freshmen attending Wabash College in Crawfordsville, IN will be required to play Portal as part of a new required course that begins next spring.

According to its description, the course, Enduring Questions, is “devoted to engaging students with fundamental questions of humanity from multiple perspectives.” Students will consider both classic and contemporary works and will “confront what it means to be human and how we understand ourselves, our relationships, and our world.”

MSNBC reports that Portal was selected because it is accessible, smart, cross-platform, relatively short, and full of big ideas that are worth exploring. The school’s curriculum committee also found that it could provoke thoughtful reflection and conversation on questions that relate to the study of the Humanities.
